I smoke marijuana. Often. It's helpful for me in numerous ways. Sparing the irrelevant details of the medicinal benefits I gain from the ingestion of this plants flowers, random drug testing is a concern for me going forward as an RN. I have no problem quitting for a month here and there, as I've been forced to already for entrance into the school nursing program as well as clinicals. Pre employment screening is not something I'm concerned with. So, what is the policy on randoms where you work? Are there any fields of nursing, generally speaking, that do not randomly drug test? Is this different in Canada, or any nation? Further, I specify marijuana in the thread title because of "medical states." My understanding is that even in California, where I can get a state legit script, employers still drug test for marijuana, and can terminate regardless of prescription.
It sucks that my preferred course of medicating is still in the draconian pseudo science world of politicking, but I don't want to switch to some god awful pill, yet I don't want this to effect my chosen career path, either. Am I effectively stuck?
Thanks a lot for your time. I've been lurking a while, this place is great!
